Union Health Minister J P Nadda launched an initiative aimed at training the common man to respond to medical emergencies, on 6 June.
\r\nInaugurating the training programme of the first responder course, Nadda said in an emergency, the first few minutes are the most important for a patient and the care he or she receives in that time may help save his life. “Such a person is a first responder, someone who is present at the scene and could be of immediate assistance,” he said, adding training for the same will be provided at Central and state government training institutes across the country in each district. |
